Paddles

[Buttonz]

Little gives the big after initiation when the little receives a set of letters, a pillow, and other gifts from the big. The NM class also makes for the NME (New Member Educator) and President. If there is an assistant NME she gets a teddy bear shaped plaque. They get decorated and there is certain items that must be on them.

My chapter did sister to sister paddles as well one year.



That's my paddle wall, it's missing one paddle.

An example of one I made:

[KSUViolet06]

Bigs & Littles decorate wooden sailboats and exchange them at "Boat Revealing" the semester after the Little Sis is initiated.

Each new member class decorates a class sailboat with each of their names on it to hang in the chapter house.

Littles make their bigs a paddle and present it at their new member social. Bigs are responsible for procuring a stiched sweatshirt to give to their little directly after initiation.

Pledge Pop gives a paddle (see below).

Also, during initiation week we get a wooden badge, you have your closest brothers sign it.
